[review] Daviscase wallet/folio bookcase - Galaxy Note5 Accessories

Here is my review for the Daviscase wallet/folio bookcase
General design and appearance: This case has a wallet/folio design. As stated on the product description, it is made of brown leather and the first thing you’ll notice is the typical leather mark label that is commonly found on products made of this material. The material looks authentic, has the typical smell of leather and is slightly distressed, which adds a nice touch to the case. The front and back of the case feature a nice sewing line that matches the color of the case. The quality of the sewing is on par with that of the leather and makes the product even more appealing. The back panel also features one vertical fold, which enables to use the case as a stand to maintain the phone on landscape mode. Toward the top of the back panel, you’ll find a cutout for the camera lens and flash and in the bottom left corner, a small slot provides easy access to the S-pen. On the top right corner, the name of the case “Davis Case” is embossed in the leather. The “spine” of the case features the typical shiny gold lettering and symbols found on old books. The inscriptions are stamped in the leather and make the case look like an authentic book. Despite the originality of the design and the thick leather, the case is not bulky for a wallet case and the limited footprint makes it even ok to carry in a pocket.
Features: In the open position, the left panel features 3 card slots, one of which with a transparent window for an id card. Underneath the 3 slots, you’ll find a sleeve for your bills. At the bottom of the slots, the brand is also embossed in the leather. As it is the case with this kind of wallet design, there is always a concern with the card slots rubbing against the screen of the phone when the case is closed. As this review was done within 24 hours after receiving the case, I did not notice any mark on my screen, however, I was using a tempered glass screen protector, which may have prevented this issue. The inside of the case is lined with fabric with a shiny pattern. The right panel of the case accommodates the plastic part holding the phone. That part is brown to match the color of the leather and consists of a flexible bumper and a flexible back, both made of what looks like TPU material. The back of this holder is partially glued to the leather. The bumper provides easy access to all the phone ports and the S-pen. They all fall at the right location. The bumper holds the phone very tightly at the four corners, however the flexibility of the plastic material creates some slack in the sections between corners. This may not affect how well the phone is maintained in the case but the hold is definitely not as strong as with other TPU bumpers. By folding the back panel of the case, the phone can be propped upright for use in landscape orientation. The case does not feature any magnet: it only folds but does not close completely and it does not feature the auto wake-up/sleep function seen on some other cases. I don’t find this to be an issue since 1) magnets are known to conflict with the S-pen, and 2) the absence of magnetic closure maintains easy access to the wallet.
Closing comments:
Overall, this is a very nice case if you’re looking for a folio/wallet design. The quality of the material and the design, which imitates the look of an old book, really add a nice touch. Although I haven’t done any test, the case seems to provide some level of protection. I found the phone to be snug in in its plastic holder and the thickness of the leather will probably provide some energy absorption in case of a fall. The only point of improvement in my opinion is the plastic (TPU?) phone holder, which could have been more rigid.
Pros:
- Original design with nice details
- 2 devices in one: phone case and wallet
- Leather and sewing are good quality
- Cutouts are accurately positioned
- Ability to maintain the phone in landscape mode
Cons:
- Phone holder not as snug as expected
- A bit bulky (but not significantly as compared to other wallet cases)
- May require the use of a screen protector to prevent possible marking due to rubbing of card slots on the phone screen
- A bit expensive

Hi, I don't trust this place. I bought 2 cases (Cell Phone Wallets) so I could make sure at least 1 would fit and sure enough only one fit. So I keeps that one and thought emails he said to send the other back to him for a refund. I followed the tracking and see it was returned to him. I waited 10 days more but still not refund. Emailing him he keep saying he did not have it yet, even though tracking said he received it. Then he stopped answering my emails altogether. It's been 2 months and still no refund.
DO NOT DO BUSINESS WITH HIM, HE RIPPED ME OFF.

Get ahold of Amazon and do it like now and show them the emails and tracking number because I had this problem and Amazon forced the person to refund me.

Slim Magnetic PU Smart Cover Stand (ebay) + Speck FitFolio Review, Comparisons, etc.

Hello! This is a quick review highlighting these two products. Of all of the cases I've tried (believe me, I have about 7 or 8 at home...) these two reign king. I'm unsure of which one I'll ultimately go with, but I do have some opinions about each that I'd like to highlight. For what it's worth, you can't go wrong with either case - but they do have slightly different features which may or may not sway you in those corresponding directions.
This entire post isn't really a defined "this is my Speck FitFolio case review" and then following "this is my eBay case review," but instead it's kind of a mish/mash of the two products all at once. I'll compare them, highlight differences/similarities between the two, etc.
To start, here is the direct link of the one I purchased from pandamimi2011 on eBay. I went with this user because it ships out of California so I knew I wouldn't have to wait two months for it to come from China, plus his/her feedback looked solid. I paid for the middle tier of shipping and it came on Wednesday when I ordered it on Sunday. I'm in Pennsylvania (on the other side of the country), and we just had hurricane Sandy rip us a new one. To say I'm satisfied at the shipping speed is an understatement.
The feel of this case is pretty nice. It has tiny grooves over it, so it almost seems like a very faint "metal file" feeling of some sort. It's got a slight rubbery texture, which when coupled with the grooves feels a bit more grippy than the Speck case, which is something I like. It does however present it with a slight -1 in the pocketability department. The Speck can be slid into my back pocket of my dress pants somewhat easily. The thickness of the Speck vs the width of my pocket makes pocketability decently possible, however if the thickness of the N7/Speck were any thicker, it'd be a different story. With the eBay case, I can make it happen, but I have to wrestle with it for a few extra seconds first. Not a big deal, but it's enough of a deterrent that when I'm walking up and down the hall at work, for short walking bursts from one tech issue to the next I may just hold it.
When both cases are opened and folded back the magnet does not interfere. Each one wakes up/sleeps the device easily and predictably. I will say this, though... when I was trying different variations of the eBay case to ensure the magnets worked properly, I noticed something. It appears as if the wake up/sleep magnet on the Nexus 7 is located on the left side - not on the right. I say this because due to the eBay's case design, it has a "tri fold" thing going on with the front flap that covers the screen. If I fold it so only the left side is flat on the screen, yet the middle and right is up in the air away from the tablet, it indeed sleeps/wakes up the N7. Whenever I saw other video reviews, people would point to the right side to indicate it had a smart feature. Either way, doesn't matter, but just an observation worth pointing out.
The back shell (the skeleton) cradling the Nexus 7 in both scenarios is solid. With each case, the N7 pops in easily and securely. With the Speck case I found it's easier to "eject" the N7 when starting from the left side, where there are some spaces in the mold. It's much more difficult to start on the right side where it's full length. See picture to see what I mean. Meanwhile with the eBay case, both the left and right side spans the entire length. Because of this, it makes the "eject from left side" idea (which works great on the Speck) fail with this case. Instead, it's easiest to eject the N7 around the charging port cutout at the bottom. See picture.
Another difference between the two worth noting is the latching mechanism. The Speck case has a clip, and a very well designed clip. The clip itself is attached to some sort of heavy elastic, which has a very slight amount of "give" when securing the flap. It's very solid and gives me 100% confidence that if I drop my case, it will not open unless, somehow, it's an epic fall that manages to break the clip itself. The eBay case however latches based on magnets. There's a magnet strip in the flap that folds behind the tablet when closed. It's not a strong magnet, however because it's an entire magnet strip, it holds on decently. I held my tablet with both hands and shook it until the flap opened up. You sure have to give it a good solid swift movement in order to have enough momentum for the flap to fly open. If my tablet were to take a tumble down a flight of stairs, the Speck case would almost definitely have the +1 because I believe the magnet would give way and open up. For just general protection, excluding extreme falls etc, the magnetic flap provides adequate security. This didn't really sway my opinion in either scenario, since I was just happy to have a case like this where there is a magnetic flap to keep it closed... whereas some cases like this don't have this magnetic flap whatsoever.
Speaking of the latching mechanism, one concern I have about the Speck case is while it latches securely, I do wonder how it'll hold up in the long haul. I use my Nexus 7 for a lot at work as I work in IT. I'm frequently opening, closing, opening, closing, over and over and over possibly hundreds of times a day. In the 10 days I've had the Speck case, I've noticed that the latch has become much easier to clip and unclip. Some may attribute this to being broken in, but considering it's hard plastic vs hard plastic, some degree of wear may be a side effect. So while the Speck latch holds closed more securely, the eBay case would almost definitely have more longevity. I also like with the eBay case that I can kind of throw the front flap shut in my hand, and thanks to the momentum, the magnetic flap flips around the back of the case and stays put thanks to the magnets grabbing it, which is kind of nice because it doesn't require a physical need to latch the clip. This may be splitting some rather extreme hairs, but I wanted to document exactly what my thoughts were on all accounts, as major or minor that they might be.
The other difference I want to notate is the button cutouts. The Speck has volume up/down in one cutout, a separation, and then the power button cutout. This is nice because when I'm feeling for the buttons it's more obvious that I'm hitting volume up instead of power, which often happens. The eBay case has one open cutout for all three buttons. However, while all three buttons are lumped together, the actual thickness of the plastic mold is indeed thinner, making the feeling of the buttons easier to detect even though there's not a separation. It's one of those half empty/half full things that likely doesn't matter in the grand scheme of things, but there's pros and cons to notate on both sides.
The stand up positions with both cases are decent. The Speck offers a little more versatility for some of my uses, as I'm often laying down in bed on the N7. Due to the wider platform the case gives when it's propped up in horizontal mode, it's a bit easier to prop it on my stomach/chest without issue. This probably goes without saying since most people would detect this immediately when they see a picture, but with the eBay case, due to its tri-fold design, it makes the "propped up on stomach/chest when laying down position" near impossible. It does however provide a decent range of prop positions when on a table/desk of some sort, much like the Speck. Certainly not a deal breaker, but worth mentioning.
Overall, you won't lose no matter which case you get. Both of these cases are easily contenders for the #1 spot of all of the cases I've used. The number 1 thing I love about both cases is the plastic mold they fit into. There's nothing covering the bezel anywhere and there's none of this 6 prong thing going on around the edges like the BluRex Ultra Slim case among other various cases. (not to say it's a bad design, but I personally prefer the mold design). I do believe I'll be sticking with the eBay case for a while, as I find the magnetic flap to be a little more well suited for my uses. I also think the eBay case has a slightly better price-vs-product ratio, as even with mid-tier shipping I paid 18 or 19 bucks for it, while the Speck ran me 30 bucks. Considering both of these cases are directly on par with one another, it stands to reason that the eBay case in this scenario could easily be the winner for being the "better bang for the buck." Either way, both cases are very worth their money and both are highly recommended.
Great in depth review! Need a pic gallery comparing findings would be nice. Not saying to post every single pic, but maybe host it somewhere where you already uploaded them?
Nevertheless, the review is well done! :good:

That was my intention when I wrote the review a few days ago. The above info I had written up before and just saved in an office doc, so to post I just pasted over. I'll be able to add pictures later this evening.
Which one is thinner?
Ehh we may have a show stopper finding here. I was using my tablet earlier with the eBay case and when folded back it shut off at one point. I spent what felt like five full minutes trying to replicate it but couldn't. Later on when I got home I was able to... it's only at a very exact point that it happens, but once I got the hang of it I could replicate it a bit easier... I just find it crazy that for hours after unboxing it I wasn't able to notice it. The eBay case indeed has a design flaw in that regard. I'm going to email the seller and see what he has to say about it.
Something else worth noting is when the Speck case is folded back you can clip it in place which is a nice touch. Without clipping it when folded back cases like this tend to have a sloppy feeling when holding it with one hand. That being said, I'd say the Speck takes the cake here.

Any word from the seller?
I prefer the Blurex/Moko style than your ebay case. It is classy and suitable for business style. ebay case looks cheap with the plastic cover, and it may hurt the Nexus 7's plastic sides.

Review: Rhino Holster Combo Gel/Hard Case

I purchased this case:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00A4251PI/
Very similar to, if not the exact same case as the ones on eBay being purchased until Seidio cases come down in price. I would've preferred black, of course, but I'll settle for garish red for a few bucks less. I'm only intending to use it until the Seidio Active combo shows up at Best Buy, or pops up on Amazon for $35-40. At that point, I'll switch to black or Seidio's darker red color.
The case feels surprisingly solid for a $10 affair, with hard-shell protection on the corners and a bezel raised a little bit more than a TPU or mesh hybrid case would have. I'd still have reservations about dropping it from any significant height, but I try to avoid doing that to phones in general. The kickstand looks flimsy, but I left it down when I set the phone on my nightstand last night, and it made it through the night without falling. You do have to reach behind and snap the bar holding the nightstand out into place, or it's liable to collapse. All buttons are covered, as well as the micro USB port and the headphone jack. The S Pen and mic are left open for obvious reasons. The buttons are very easy to press, and the S Pen is easy to access, despite have the case around it raised significantly. Camera and speaker are also recessed by a good amount.
The holster is similar to the Amzer holster, one that I have serious problems with. Hint: don't waste your money on the Amzer case. It's junk, and they charge you for shipping both ways. I've paid a total of $10 in shipping to return an item I paid $15 for, as it says on Amzer's website to use a trackable method, as they're not liable for packages lost in the mail. Every time I've seen a company post that on their website, I've discovered that shipping without tracking means they mysterious never receive the package. But enough about that Amzer piece of crap.
The holster has 180-degree rotation, from sideways facing forward to upright to sideways facing back. Unlike the idiotically-designed Amzer holster, this one does not cover the home button. The phone is secured by two side clips and two clips that wrap from the side onto the bottom, giving--you guessed it--corner protection. The S Pen is largely covered by hard plastic, as opposed to the Amzer holster, which left it completely (and I mean completely, as it's not covered by the case on that model) exposed. The holster belt clip does double as a kickstand, but that's a useless feature on this case. The case does not fit into the holster facing forward, only facing in. The screen rests against a soft-lined surface inside of the holster. It's a very snug fit, and the phone is almost hard to get in and out. Pretty confident that will change as the case is broken in. Of course, my biggest issue with the Amzer holster is that it took all of three days to break. Hopefully this is not going to be a case of history repeating itself.
Long story short, it's a decent-enough case to hold you over until the Seidio cases show up at Best Buy. If that opinion changes during usage, I'll update. For $10-12, though, you can't really go too wrong with this one.
I liked the hard/gel hybrid case from this in conjunction with the Seidio active holster. It is a little thicker that the the seidio active case and has flaps to cover the usb and phono plugs. It fits like a glove in to Seidio Holster as well. Might be a good in between combo for others.
Isn't this the same case as the ones in these threads?

[REVIEW] MoKo/Blurex/Others slim case

I know there are probably already plenty of these, but I thought I would share my views, and hopefully help someone! I have had this case several months, so this is not a first impression For the lazy ones, skip to the bottom for a summary. :silly:
Many of you have probably seen this case on amazon or this forum. It is a PU leather with a landscape stand, sold under many different brand names on amazon.
Instead of the case coming around the bezel of the device, or using a breakage-prone plastic clip on case as some others do, this case has 6 or 7 clips (depending on the version) to hold the Nexus in. There is one on each corner, and another on the top and bottom. 2 of the corners unclip and the device flips out in landscape mode to make a stand (no portrait stand, but this is common to most cases unfortunately). Some variations also have a hand strap.
Now, the big question on everyone's minds. Quality. I have found this case to be very good, as have others who have tried them. Unlike some other cases such as the Nillkin smart cover, there are no plastic parts to crack, or joins/edges covered in that waxy plastic coating, that seems to be prone to cracking and peeling. All the edges are sewn, so no issues there.
Another worry I have seen come up on the forum is the metal or plastic clasp that clips over the edge of the device for closure. Some worry this could scratch or damage their Nexus. Don't. I have been using this case for around 3 months now, and my 7 still looks as good as the day I got it (well, apart from the filthy screen ) In fact, I prefer this to a magnetic strap, as it is far more secure!
Although this is a great case, it still has its issues. At first, the clasp is quite tight, and hard to close, but over time this loosens as the case stretches slightly. This happening is great, apart from the fact that on mine, it no longer held the smart cover magnet close enough to the screen, so the smart cover only works intermittently. I understand mine may be from an old batch, and this has been fixed with a stronger magnet.
For all of you in the USA, this case is easily available on Amazon, but for me in Australia, it is not so easy to find. There is a variant by Caseen called the Soft snap, but this is 3x the price of the Chinese amazon version. For anyone outside of the US, I could not find it on eBay, but eventually found one on a Hong Kong wholesale site, Aliexpress. I will post a link once I am allowed to.
So, for all the lazy ones who skipped to the bottom, to sum up:
Pros:
Slim, adds very little bulk
Clever stand design, does not add thickness
Cheap
Secure clasp
Cons:
Hard to get outside of Amazon USA
Clasp too tight at first
Some have issues with smart cover
Yeah, there are quite a few threads for this that you could have posted into, but this case IMO deserves attention. A few people at work have asked me about mine and have gotten one (although one apparently wasn't paying attention and got a similar case and he doesn't like it.. he's getting the moko now )
Besides fit, form, and function which are all great on this case, I expected the strap to stretch out and the pleather to scuff up, fray on the edges, rip, etc and look shabby like almost all PU does. Nope. This is good stuff, whatever crazy chemicals it's made out of. The case looks the same today as it did when I bought it a few weeks after the N7 was available, straps are still tight even though I use the hand strap quite a bit, snap is still good (and as you said; no damage anywhere) etc.
Thanks for the feedback! I will try to find others next time to keep clutter down.

[REVIEW] Rock APP Smart UI Transparent View Flip Hard Case Cover Skin

Once I dove in and read more about this fantastic phone, I found about the potentially awesome HTC Dot View feature. So one day shopping on eBay, I decided on the Rock APP Smart UI case. Oh boy, do I regret my $17.50 purchase...Here's why:
Pros:
Dot View feature works well.
Phone buttons are very easy to utilize.
Easy to install on the phone.
Includes very nice and useful accessories.
Packaged well in retail box.
Cons:
Its advertized as transparent view wallet case when clearly it isn't (its just a slightly thinner see-through material)!
It's not a wallet case (Where can you put your credit card(s)?!
The overall case design is very rubberized (not a hard case).
When the phone is inside the case, there is a very noticeable gap (between the lid and case).
The retail packaging looks very nice and high-quality (Compared to most eBay aftermarket cases).
Comes with a lot of cool stuff (Screen dust absorption sticker, Sponge Bob Square Pants lanyard, a very sturdy and rubberized sim/micro-USB ejector tool, 2 micro fiber cloths, 2 in-ear headphone covers, a well made rubber micro-USB dust cover, and a stylus).
The rear of the case looks very nicely made and looks very tasteful.
When there's no phone in the case, there isn't a discernible gab between the lid and the case.
Now once there's a phone in the case, there's a huge gap!
This gap affects how well the Dot View functions (On some angles, notifications are blurred).
This is what the case is suppose to look like (when the lid is completely closed).
Okay, clearly the seller of this particular situation is just trying to market this case so he/she can get the most out of it...But come on...Half the thing's the seller is stating that this case is or can do, isn't!
The primary reason I wanted this case was because I was lead to believe that the lid of the case was either made out of clear acrylic or some transparent film. So buyer beware. False advertizing and misleading high resolution pictures may lead to a regrettable purchase...

Artech Handmade Premium Italian Leather Wallet Case Review

I’m not a big fan of folding cases however when I received this one and removed it from the packaging, I was immediately impressed. Everything about it screamed premium from the looks and the touch all the way down to the smell.
The case is beautiful. It’s made of full grain tan leather. On the folding part of the case it has 3 elegantly stitched card slots, two of which are for your credit cards, one slot for your ID and a slot underneath those where you can put any sort of bank note although you may have to fold depending on the size of your countries currency. On the other side it has a hard plastic cover designed to clasp to the back of your phone offering additional protection against impacts and to keep your phone locked into the case. The plastic part is designed perfectly to hold on to your phone tight enough to prevent it from slipping out of the case. Only half of the plastic part is adhered to the leather to also act as a folding stand so you can watch your videos on a flat surface without having to hold your phone.
The outer part of the case is minimalistic yet very chic. That same beautiful stitching around the edge of the case appears. Down the spine there’s an overlapping piece of leather bound to the front giving it the appearance similar to that of an antique leather ledger. At the bottom right you'll notice the company’s name “Artech 21” pressed into the Italian leather. At the center of the case’s opening there’s a stitched piece of leather completing the design to latch your phone with a gentle click of the magnets residing beneath the leather.
When you flip the case over you'll notice a similar appearance to front except you'll immediately note the perfect cutouts for the IR blast, the flash and color spectrum, the camera and the trademark LG back volume and power buttons. Down the center of the case you'll see a minor crease where you can fold the case to assist the it in standing as you watch videos. To the right, you'll see the same tasteful stitching down the spine of the back and lastly you'll see the cutout slightly bigger than the loudspeaker to make sure you're getting all of your audio without any distortion.
I was chosen to review the LG G4 Premium Handmade Italian Leather Case. All in all, I give this case a 9.5/10. I deduct the .5 because it doesn't fit US banknotes as a wallet should however since I don't ever carry cash, that’s not a problem. Once again, I'm not a big fan of folding cases however this case has easily earned the title of #1 for the multiple cases I own due to it’s gorgeous design. Not only is it beautiful, it’s also a pleasure to hold. It’s very comfortable to grasp and it doesn't ever feel like it’s going to slip out of my hand. I'm also enjoying the smell of the genuine leather. There’s nothing quite like holding a little bit of mother nature into your hand in addition to the wonderful technology we have these days.
I'll upload pictures later when I have more time.
Nice!
